Time to bring back Vinny and cut Romo!

[dallasblue05]

Vinny looked good at the start of the season last year but because he is old he couldnt hold up over the whole season. Thats why he should be a back up and if someone needs to start a game or 2 then he is head and shoulders above Romo.


So what if Bledsoe goes down for a month? or the rest of the year? Where can Vinny do us good there? Vinny was inconsistent from the get go, and I dont think he would do us any good. Shoot me for being logical, but that is my opinion.

Who else is there to sign? Do you think an undrafted QB who has never thrown an pass in a real game is a better idea? I dont think thats logical at all. Insane maybe.

Yeah but Romo's got moxie

Can you dig it Daddy-o..............

i'll take a QB who can make it through a season witohut his arm going limp, thank one who has thrown what the most INT"s in history, i mean jeez the guy is 42 years old, why waste moeny to bring in a guy who wiht one hit will problbly be back on the bench with Bledsoe. i dont think your statement is logical at all

Maybe Im crazy but I really believe this team has a chance to do something and I would hate the fact that if Bledsoe misses 2 or 3 games or even more that are season goes down the drain.

We need a real #2 QB and Vinny would be the best choice. He knows the offense and players and still has a good arm. He could get us through some games if needed.



The reason I say keep Henson instead of Romo even though Romo is playing better now; simple.

Romo is what he is and thats a 3rd string QB and maybe a # 2 QB someday. There isnt much upside.

Even With Henson struggling he has all the tools and potential to someday become a starting QB. Maybe not this year or next but in time he has a chance.

So as a guy who wont see the field anyways you have to keep the guy with the best potential.


Again I believe we need to bring Vinny here just incase. The same reason he was brought here last year to be a back up QB.

Henson is the one that will go.......

 

[SuspectCorner]

it's a little early to be hitting the "red button" regarding our backups. check that. it's way early.

now if romo or henson haven't displayed enough to make BP comfortable with his #2 after the 3rd preseason game.... i guaran-d***-tee ya he will whip out the "little black book".

so... while VT and QC don't exactly inspire awe in most of us - they may look a whole lot better around August 30th.

just as all the girls look prettier 'round closin' time...

not saying it will happen.

but don't fall out if it does.

Last off season before Vinny signed, I thought it would be a bad idea. I thought Vinny was a year older and not a year better. That isn't a plus for a guy that was at best average over his entire career. Funny how my feelings on him have not changed to the present time. Give the kids a chance in the pre-season games. They will make mistakes. If they have to play in the regular season, they will make mistakes. That is what young QBs do.

This season is about trying to win, but it is also about trying to build for the future. Bringing in Vinny slows any future growth down and for what. What if Bledsoe gets hurt? Vinny isn't going to automatically become a good QB and step in and lead this team. I would rather rally around a young, inexperienced guy than a washed up QB.

**Whats with all of the bogus ideas starting to surface? Do these guys not have any sense? Are you KIDDING?????!!!!! No way in hades does Vinny deserve a chance to be our back-up. He has no business in the league anymore. He is too old, not accurate enough, and has no where close to the ideal velocity on his throws. Not to mention, when he runs, it looks like me walking fast. Romo is the #2 guy***


Vinny looked good at the start of the season last year but because he is old he couldnt hold up over the whole season. Thats why he should be a back up and if someone needs to start a game or 2 then he is head and shoulders above Romo.


***So by your train of thinking we should have kept Ryan Leaf as our third string QB since he has "potential". Potential is worthless give me results.***

Ryan Leaf had his chance. He played and showed he couldnt play in the NFL. So the Potential didnt work out. What results has Romo showed? Name some starting QB's going into this season that were undrafted.

Not defending Vinny here....but...you are a bit over the top with your comments.

Vinny was 11th in the league in total yards last year.

He was also 1 of only 13 QB's to play in all 16 games last year.

 

[wxcpo]

I would have no problem bringing in VInny but I wouldnt cut Romo.

What tools does Henson have? I agree Henson wont start this year or the nxt. So the earliest the would start would be 2007. He'll be 27 and thats if he starts then.

I seem to remember a certain other QB who had a very long layoff from football after we drafted him. By the time he came to camp full time he too was 27 years old and didn't even see regular starting action for 2 more years which made him 29 by the time he became the Cowboys full time starter.

Lets at least give Henson a chance and see what he can do, even if it takes another season or two. It's not like there are NFL pro bowl caliber QBs just hanging around waiting for a team to give them a call. Besides if a guy is brought in to be a backup I wouldn't want VT, I'd much rather see Tim Couch brought in over Vinny.

and our team was ranked what in scoring? and it translated into how many wins?

screw yards

Vinny would probably be OK as a backup. He suffered as the season progressed. For a couple of games, he might be tolerable.

However, having said that, I would like to see these guys play in a preseason game or two before I got too worked up about it.

One final thought: Those guys that are out there now will probably still be out there if Bledsoe should go down. Why the need to make a move now? A vet should be able to pick up the offense relatively quickly. Cross that bridge when you come to it.

If your trying to counter my point then you are off-topic.

"Do these guys not have any sense? Are you KIDDING?????!!!!! No way in hades does Vinny deserve a chance to be our back-up."

The above quote is ludicrously over the top.

Sure..you can argue that we deserve better. You can argue that Romo or Henson will prove to be better.

But to argue that a person has "no sense" or that there is "no way in hades" that Vinny deserve a chance to be our backup" is over the top.

I don't have a dog in the Vinny vs Romo vs Henson argument yet. I'm holding my cards until I see some preseason actions.

But....I would not be at all suprised if Vinny is the QB that Parcells is alluding to. He is available...and he knows the offense. And Parcells obviously had enough confidence in him to make him the starter last year. And last I checked he is only 1 year older this year than he was last year.

Where Vinnie might be concerned, I think it's a conditioning issue. Vinnie is also notorious for taking some time to get in football shape. If Vinnie were designated as the backup, then I think it's prudent to get him in camp and get him physically ready.

As far as the other guys, I think that there needs to be time for anybody not familiar with the offense to come in and learn it. That takes time as well. I would be in favor of making a decision and bringing someone in by the time the third PS game comes around. That's just me.

Thats a fair assessment. I think LTN mentioned that Vinny needs tons of snaps, but it couldn't be conditioning. Remember BP going on and on about his leg strength and the gym in his home?

Auhhhh..... lunch...... nautious.......... you suck.


Gotta go to the head now.

If Bledsoe goes down, it's time to find out what the youngsters can do, either Romo or Henson. BP will need to check his ego and let them play. If Bledsoe goes down, we have no playoff hope...might as well draft high to get a shot at the USC QB.

I think Romo will surprise some people. What do we have against Romo anyway? I know he's not 6'4 230 with rocket for an arm. But he seems to get IT and gets the job done like Sims did for BP. As for the draft status....didn't everyone passed on Warren Moon, Garcia, Warner?
